HARNESS`TUG SLIDE.

SPECIII'BCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,903, datedFebruary 19, 1884. Application tiled July 12, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN G. MILLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Champaign, in the county of Champaign and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Tug Slides;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters or igures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a vertical sectional View of my invention.Fig. 2 is a front view, and Fig. 3 is a detail view.

This invention has relation to harness-tug slides; and it consists inthe construction and novel arrangement of the rack-plate on thesaddle-Hap and the adjustable metallic loops in connection therewith,the metallic tug-slide having end loopsand .center pin to engage theback-band, and slotted or recessed in its inner face to accommodate therack-plate, all as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter a designates the saddle-nap,and b the backband connected thereto.

On theouter face of the flap a is secured a rack-plate, c', therack-face of which is turned inward or toward the flap.y The rack-plateis secured to th e'iiap by rivets d, passing through its ends, and onthe rack-plate are theadjust-V able metallic loops e, which are.centrally notched at g, to engage the rack-plateand prevent transverseplay when the back-band b is in position, having been passed throughsaid loops. i

Hindicatesthe` metallic tug-slide, having the transverse opening orbearing k, through slide has been adj usted in position.

The inner face of the slide is designed to be in contact with thesaddle-nap; and, in order to provide for the accommodation of therackplate when the slide is adjusted to a low position, a slot orrecess, z, isV made in the inner face of the slide, said slot or recessextending longitudinally, as indicated in the drawings.

The adjustment ofthe tug-slide is mainly governed by the rack-plate onthe saddle-hap and the adjustable loop, which is xed in position withreference to said rack-plate when the back-band has been passed throughsaid loop. i

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent', is-

saddle-nap, of the adjustable metallic loops,

the metallic tug-'slide having end loops and center pinto engage theback-band, and slotted or recessed in its inner face, to accommodate therack-plate, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN G.- MILLER.
